TBPA Commission refuses Southland's severance

WRANGELL — The Thomas Bay Power Authority commissioners met in executive session on Friday, May 3 to discuss the issue of former TBPA general manager Paul Southland’s severance package.

In a 5-1 vote, with commissioner Warren Edgely voting to pay Southland and member Dave Galla abstaining, the group decided to reverse course on a memorandum directing the city to provide a post-termination severance package.

Southland was terminated by the commission late last month in a 5-2 vote, with commission president John Jensen and commissioner Robert Larson voting against the firing.
